21. Pad

Attenuates the input signal by 10 dB. This will increase the dynamic range to accommodate a higher input level before clipping which may be necessary when close miking loud guitar amplifiers or drum kits.

22. Polarity

Reverses the polarity of the input signal. This will compensate for an out-of-phase input that would otherwise cause frequency cancellations in the mix. (Often needed for drum mics where both sides of the drum head are picked up in multiple microphone

situations.)

Phantom power

23

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Applies 48V DC voltage to all input XLR con-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

21

 

 

 

 

 

nectors to power microphones that require it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If phantom power is used, do not connect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

unbalanced dynamic microphones or other

24

 

 

 

22

 

 

 

 

 

devices to the XLR inputs that cannot handle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this voltage. (Some wireless receivers may

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be damaged, consult their manuals.) The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Line Input jacks (#1) are not connected to the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

48V supply, and are safe for all inputs (balanced

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or unbalanced). An unbalanced-to-balanced

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

impedance converter such as the Peavey

5116

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or 7201 (female XLR), or a Peavey 1:1 interface

 

adapter can also be used to isolate the mic input from 48V. Phantom

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

25

 

 

power is not available at the talk back mic connector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

24. Stereo Input

High-impedance input for line-level signals. The left/mono input supplies signal to both the left and right inputs if there is nothing inserted to the right input jack.

 

25.

Trim

26

27

Varies the gain of the stereo input to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio.

 

The adjustment range is unity to +20 dB. Proper adjustment will

 

 

 

28

maximize the signal-to-noise ratio, and can be set using the PFL

 

 

switch. (See #4)

 

Master Functions

 

26.

AUX Master Level

 

 

Sets the overall level of the AUX signal that is sent to the output jack. (See #49)

 

27.

AUX PFL/Clip

 

 

A dual function LED that illuminates when the signal level is nearing the over-

 

 

load point, or if the PFL switch is engaged. It illuminates at +19 dBu. (There

 

 

is roughly 2 dB of headroom remaining when it lights.) When the AUX PFL

 

 

switch (#28) is depressed, it lights continuously to indicate that this AUX has

 

 

been assigned to the PFL mix.

 

28.

AUX PFL

 

 

Connects the AUX signal (pre-master level) to the PFL mix and switches the

 

 

headphone/control room source from the L-R mix to the PFL mix. It also

 

 

connects the PFL signal to the L-R meters to aid in monitoring the output level.
